Kimwipes ! That's the brand and products I could not remember. Just one
thing to add, there are many different types/variations, so be careful.

Cleaning the originally coated drum? I'm not sure how to do this.
We clean our RK05 disks in a very robust way: with cheap burning
spirit and paper towels. ...
The LGP-30 drum is much more singular, so we never tried to clean
the surface to avoid the risk of cleaning away the coating.
I've seen an IBM field service tech clean an 1311 pack once (after the
drive blew a gasket and sprayed hydraulic fluid everywhere). He used
Kimwipes soaked in isopropyl alcohol. Since this was in college, I went to
the chemistry department to get high purity (reagent grade) isopropyl
alcohol for this job.
A solvent sounds good, but I would avoid "burning spirit" or rubbing
alcohol or other grocery store stuff since it probably has all manner of
contaminants in it, some of which may leave crud on the surface.
